Nice try

It’s hard not to laugh at some of the exploit attempts made against this VPS. Since it’s easy to tell that my site runs WordPress, those with nefarious intent probe for ways to access its configuration file.

Alone this isn’t enough, but it’s nice knowing that unsavory individuals are consistently looking for things in the wrong places.
